[Mr. Jelly]

I came from a flat pick background. I like the sound of pads with a little nail here and there and I think you have more control. But I can't do it as after a couple of minutes I desire that finger pick sound. The pads are not loud enough for me. I like the attack of finger picks. And just forget nails. Mine are just fine but I'd rip them off if I tried to finger pick with them.

I use the old style plastic thumb pick and metal finger picks. I used hot water to shape the thumb picks.
